About
Mellon Labs is a startup studio and consulting firm focused on Circular Economy, Resource Efficiency, Waste Management, and Climate Tech.

The Mellon Labs Journey
Mellon Labs began with a simple observation: the gap between climate science and practical implementation was growing wider, not narrower.
Our founders, coming from deep expertise in climate research and sustainable business practices, recognized that traditional consulting wasn't enough. The challenges required new ventures, new business models, and new ways of thinking about resource efficiency.
Today, we operate as a hybrid organization—part consulting firm, part academy, part venture studio. This unique model allows us to work with existing organizations while simultaneously building the next generation of climate solutions.
